Application Configuration

The application uses XML files ending in .config to configure the application execution parameters. The .config files are located in the same directory as the executable. The file names differ depending on the executable that is to be run:

  • dotnet.exe.config: Used by the CxAnalytixCLI and CxAnalytixDaemon executables.
  • CxAnalytixService.exe.config: Used by the CxAnalytix Windows service.

The content for both of these files is identical. The CxAnalytix application configuration instructions give detailed information about the XML application configuration files.

Log4Net Configuration

Log4Net is used to produce both application logs and logs containing exported JSON key/value pairs when using the Logging Output component. The application produces logging useful for troubleshooting and/or execution tracking purposes. At the time this was written, the only data output method was to use the Logging Output component. If a future version does not use the Logging Output component, the Log4Net configuration will only apply to logs produced for application logging.

There are 3 files available for configuring Log4Net that are located in the same directory as the executable:

  • CxAnalytixCLI.log4net: Used by the CxAnalytixCLI executable.
  • CxAnalytixDaemon.log4net: Used by the CxAnalytixDaemon executable (Linux platform)
  • CxAnalytixService.exe.config: Used by the CxAnalytixService executable (Windows platform)

The CxAnalytix Log4Net configuration instructions explain how to configure the logging output appropriate for your deployment.
